Details
One of the most respected of Loire estates, the Dezat family's 38 hectares covers 6 villages in Sancerre and 4 in Pouilly-Fumé incorporating the key soil types of 'terres blanches' (ancient active limestone), 'caillottes' (stony clay) and 'silex' (flint).
Simon and Louis Dezat represent the fourth generation, taking the domaine to new heights by making incremental changes to improve the wine: more time is spent among the vines, fine-tuning the vine, while a sorting table has been recently adopted to select only the healthiest fruit. Their ripe understated Sancerre delivers year-in, year-out, while the Domaine Thibault Pouilly-Fume is a model of precision and elegance.
A blend of fruit from their St Laurent d'Abbaye, Berthiers and St Andelain vineyards, the Dezat brothers Louis and Simon have delivered a textbook Pouilly-Fumé, rich with lime-flowers, lime-stone purity, couched in fleshy fruit, and sealed with typical elegance. Super with superior fish or cheese.
